Attorney General Merrick Garland vowed to restore public faith in the Justice Department but became a punching bag for partisans across the political spectrum.

With Donald Trump returning to the White House, Attorney General Merrick Garland defended the Justice Department and urged its ongoing independence.

Attorney General Merrick Garland came in with a mission to calm the waters at the Justice Department and restore its reputation for independence after four turbulent years under former President Donald Trump.

Within days of becoming attorney general, he assembled his deputies and told them to turn over every Trump rock. Blame a lumbering system—and an electorate that didn’t care.

The Justice Department said Garland plans to release Jack Smith's report on Trump's 2020 election interference efforts.

In a farewell speech to Justice Department staffers, outgoing Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday appeared to rebuke attacks from President-elect Donald Trump and his allies who have "wrongly criticized" the department as politically motivated.

WASHINGTON − A federal appeals court cleared the way Thursday for Attorney General Merrick Garland to release special counsel Jack Smith's report about President-elect Donald Trump's alleged efforts to steal the 2020 election, but the timing remains ...

In a filing, Garland outlined his intentions to publicize the final memo on Trump’s 2020 election subversion case, which constitutes “volume one” of Smith’s report, while handing the controversial details of Trump’s classified documents case to the chair and ranking member of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

Democratic lawmakers blamed the Department of Justice not bringing charges against President-elect Trump sooner for assuring his election victory.

The letter signed by 10 senators who sit on the upper chamber's Judiciary Committee comes a week ahead of Trump taking office.

The part of the report about the classified documents case is being withheld pending litigation in federal courts in Florida.

Republicans roasted Attorney General Merrick Garland on social media after a video of him doing a victory lap while leaving the Department of Justice became viral.
